Suburban
Miners simply does it better. We have made a substantial
financial investment in education, training and
equipment to create a better way to recycle and
re-use, one that makes a lot of common sense and
is sustainable over the long haul.

When
you bring your recyclable materials to Suburban
Miners main facility or to one of our quick drop
locations, you will have the peace of mind knowing
that your items go through the following processes
and procedures:

Unless
you speak with one of our representatives and have
a special request, this is what happens after you
drop off your items for recycling:

#1.
Security Inspection: All items
are carefully inspected initially for data containing
disks, media and hard drives. All found items are
physically removed from computers and electronics
and placed into a gaylord located inside a secure
locked cage. This ensures physical separation from
any on site visitors and protects your data from
theft. Once this gaylord fills up, these items are
automatically shredded on our ameri-shred hard drive
and disk shredding equipment. Your drives are protected
in the meantime by our alarm system and our video
monitoring security system. Once your hard drives
are shredded the shredded materials are then recycled
to recover the metals and sold back to industry
buyers within the states.

#2.
Re-Use: All items are then inspected
for resale value. If any whole item has any resale
value it is sorted and separated and placed into
our resale supply chain. We resell these items to
industry suppliers, repair houses, artists, contractors
and through our ebay store. From time to time we
also hold local auctions to place items back into
the marketplace.

#3.
Dismantling for re-use: Items containing
resalable items within them are further dismantled
and redeployed back into the marketplace
for re-use.

#4.
Remanufacturing: Many times we
can take items from multiple donations and combine
them to build or repair a broken item. Laptop computers
are a good example of how we do this. We stockpile
non working laptops and combine multiple broken
units until a new working unit emerges from the
parts. We do this whenever we can and where it makes
economic sense. We also sell broken items as-is
through our Ebay store for parts and through this
we can place many things back into the marketplace
that you might not have otherwise thought possible.

#5.
Recycling: Anything left without
a resale value is then dismantled, sorted and placed
into our recycling bins for further recycling. We
then sell each commodity to approved and vetted
buyers working within the United States.

Please
note that we do not sell to overseas buyers. Our
goal here is to keep the commodities inside the
United States to help rebuild our manufacturing
base and keep america strong.
